Acadia’s 175^th Anniversary celebration continued on Dec. 11, 2013 at the Canada Consulate in Boston with a holiday reception for alumni and friends. More than 25 people attended and shared Acadia news and memories, with special guests Ray Ivany, President of Acadia University; Patrick G. Binns, Consul General of Canada in New England; Ian Murray (’88), Executive Director of Alumni Affairs at Acadia; Nancy Handrigan (’92), Executive Director of Philanthropy at Acadia; and Ryan McCarthy (’10), Director, Associated Alumni of Acadia University. Pictured with President Ivany are (left) Anthony Cicerone (’68), Special Assistant to the Executive Vice-President for Business and Industry, Bridgewater State University, and Patrick G. Binns, Consul General of Canada. Mr. Binns has a strong Acadia connection, as all four of his children are Acadia graduates: Rob (’95), Mark (’97), Brad (’01) and Lilly (’05).
